I have the $99 Harbor Fright [sic] unit, which sucked until I upgraded it with professional-grade hose, fittings and nozzle from the local sandblasting supply house. -------------------------- Clip ---------------------- I picked up an El Cheapo Chicago Pneumatics unit at an Auto zone store. The $19.00 gun and pickup work ok with the exception that I get moisture from humidity in the air through my compressor. I use it on a 2.5 Hp Campbell Hausefeld compressor at 100 psi. (about a 6 gallon tank) I installed an ARO dryer but I still get stopped up in the vacuum chamber on the gun about every ten minutes. Since I'm just blasting AC sheet metal I'm using dried out generic sand sifted through a screen wire frame. My needs for sandblasting don't justify either the couple of hundred investment or storage space in my garage. I blasted some carbon from piston tops and cylinder heads with standard table salt the other day and it worked just fine. I'd like to find media that would give me a nice soft sheen on cylinder heads and pistons.
